Trip from Shamli to Bundi

Bundi town is of importance because of particular architectural note of its ornate forts, palaces, and stepwell reservoirs known as baoris.

Bundi is plush with havelis, forts and temples,it is situated in the Hadoti region of Rajasthan and is at a short distance of about 35kms from Kota. Taragarh Fort, Bhim Burj, Raniji ki Baori, Dabhai Kund, Sukh Mahal and Jait Sagar Lake are the attractions in Bundi that have come instantly in the notice of foreign tourists. They also like to visit the main bazaar of Bundi that sells many handicraft items.

There are over 50 stepwells in Bundi, of which only a handful have been maintained. They used to be the only source of water for the town until a piped water system was introduced. After that, these stepwells were abandoned and the monuments fell into disrepair. Most of the former stepwells inside the town have become refuse dumps, and are slipping out of the public consciousness. The Raniji ki Baori is a noted well-maintained stepwell.
